topic Is this OEM hardware quality? in M Series https://community.sonylatvija.com/t5/m-series/is-this-oem-hardware-quality/m-p/3626886#M20936 <P>Gentlemen, I acquired an M4 Aqua in mid June 2016. The phone showed some severe hardware issues around 4 months later and I was offered a "brand new" M4 phone to replace it. 1 year and 1 month after (just when the warranty for the new phone expired), my phone was lacked on the "Sony" splash and restarting (so, hardware issues again). Of course, I bought a new phone and let it rest. Today I decided to play around with the M4 Aqua replacement and opened its back just to check around (no harm anymore). For my surprise, I found a very sloppy hardware build (see picture, top right). Is this the standard hardware supplied by Sony or was this "brand new" phone actually "reworked"?</P><P><SPAN class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="P_20181019_152755.jpg" style="width: 999px;"><IMG src="https://community.sony.co.uk/legacyfs/online/49590i27FC5E827DB0A86F/image-size/large?v=1.0&amp;px=999" title="P_20181019_152755.jpg" alt="P_20181019_152755.jpg" /></SPAN></P> Fri, 19 Oct 2018 18:53:48 GMT FabioNeumann 2018-10-19T18:53:48Z Is this OEM hardware quality? https://community.sonylatvija.com/t5/m-series/is-this-oem-hardware-quality/m-p/3626886#M20936 <P>Gentlemen, I acquired an M4 Aqua in mid June 2016.
